There are good engine rebuilders out there but it is a crap shoot. A good option if you have a Japanise car is buying a replaced engine from Japan or Japanise take-out. These are low millage engines from Japan and they are good and in larger markets very inexpensive. Japan has legal limits on engine milage.
Holey shit... LOL.. Yeah my chainsaw piston fucking busted it runs still. But the fucking thing you can hear clinking around in the combustion chamber like crazy lol!
i just had a timing chain issue on my 2003 e200 petrol engine. only 75k on the clock. this resulted in a piston with similar damage. Is it possible to replace a piston and if so is it worth my while or should i try source a new engine. any help appreciated.
Hello! Anything can be fixed - but it can become expensive! Try contacting people in the trade and get a few quotations for different options. I would say a new engine would be expensive. Reconditioned should be cheaper. A used engine is also a good fix - if you find a good one. My preference would be to repair subject to cost. The cheapest and quickest option for me (which I took) was to install a used (2nd hand) engine. I hope that's some help. Regards.
Rest of engine was good because diesels are still made of steel and not aluminum like modern petrol engines, saying that back then petrol engines were probably made of steel too. Hence why no damage...tough diesel engines. But you probably already know all this...but still, interesting video. Thanks.
Hi there, my amateur analysis is that through gradual wear, the increased clearance between piston & cylinder allowed the piston to slap hard against the cylinder wall. Over time, this constant battering managed to result in a fatigue failure of the aluminium piston. Maybe a tiny imperfection / scratch on one piston gave the fatigue its start. Rest of the engine was good, so servicing was prob OK. Just one of those things. Not something too many people would see every day I suppose!
And you think the bore isn't oval?

I have a IS300 that has a piston broken like yours, I should have watched yours first.

Looks like cutter tool geometry flaw. Or heat treat, or both.
